Great food and drinks! Definitely a bit changed since last time we visited under the old ownership - but in a good way! Great wine and whiskey selections. Though... Hostess was extremely rude when we brought extra people than we made the reservation for. A happy change of plans and more business for the restaurant... but she was very upset and said we should have called first and that it filled up fast in a small space. Well, we were there with a party of 6 for two hours on a Saturday night for dinner and there was still plenty of seating!!! Overall tasty food and wine!

Unfortunately the bartender was standoffish and rude towards our group which is unfortunate as we do enjoy this establishment. Turned off our group and we promptly left.

Bartender was the rudest human in history. Had a bull ring nose just so you know who I’m talking about. Hopefully he isn’t there when you return.

The food was great but our server, Kelly, was not. Our group tried to pay with part cash and part on card, since she wouldn’t allow us to split our bill and blamed us for not telling her before then. Then she took the $20 cash, assuming it was her tip on a $70 bill instead of asking us. Then she blamed us AGAIN saying “I can’t read minds honey.” Assuming you earned a $20 tip on $70 after only talking to us twice our whole visit is ludicrous. Will not return.

I've enjoyed this place, I think the management is doing a good job. There is some room to improve but that's with all places, really.The staff is super pleasant and the asthetic is trendy. Their whiskey menu is phenomenal and it's quickly become my go to spot for bourbon, and its nice to have the option to sit at the main bar or a smaller seperate bar viewing the whiskey. The food is tasty and feels creative, New American with some Asian influence. The wine list and cocktails are just okay, tough compentition in the area.I wish they had a website and an online menu that was up to date. It helps as a diner to be able to plan a meal, and I get excited when I see something new on the menu or a new bourbon to try. But overall, cool spot.

Great experience and atmosphere. Food was delicious and service was exceptional.
Delicious food, lots of small plate and appetizer selections. The wine flights are not skimpy.

So let me start off by saying this is a place probably best enjoyed sitting down at the restaurant. We ordered our food to-go. My husband saw this place in West Reading last year pre-Covid but they closed, I'm guessing due to the pandemic. Fast-forward to a week ago and he saw they were open again. So we had to try it. Here's what we ordered: -Wagyu Burger Sliders: Yum! This was my favorite. The garlic aioli and the sweet onions are so good. The bacon wasn't too crispy and just enough of it for the entire slider. Two just wasn't enough! The flavor of the burger itself was fantastic. Will definitely order again. -Garlic fries: OMG Absolutely phenomenal. All the drinks we ordered to-go were delicious and even at home the dishes transferred well. The portion sizes would probably have been larger if we sat down in the restaurant. Will return to try that dine-in experience!
One of the few non-sports bar/beer themed places to have a drink and eat in West Reading. The food is great and so reasonably priced. Will always come back as long as they keep the up-scale vibes and great menu & cocktail selection
